These lovely little rock cakes are tender on the inside and have a crispy knobbly outside.

They are simple to throw together and only require a wooden spoon and a bowl to create.

They are perfect to pack in a lunchbox or to share with a cup of tea

200g pitted prunes, chopped

1/4 cup sultanas

zest of one orange

50g brown sugar

100g melted butter

Put the carrot, prunes, sultanas and orange zest in a bowl.
